Additional Information

 Students are strongly encouraged to complete a course in Mechanics of Materials, also known as Strength of Materials, before transferring to a university.

 Courses in engineering technology do not fulfill any of the requirements for the Area of Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering.

 Although it is possible to complete the B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering in four semesters after earning the associate’s degree, students typically need five or six semesters to complete requirements.
